The truth behind Golden Sun 3: The Solar Soothsayer

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
A day before E3 a supposedly leaked image of Golden Sun III was shown running on a DS Lite next to what appeared to be one of Nintendo’s fact sheets. The rumour was it was shown off behind closed doors at a pre-E3 event. ********** was the first site to pick it up along with *******, Maxconsole and others posting it as a rumour. Other sites such as DS Fanboy picked it apart straight away. And sadly yes it is a fake.

While I wasn't initially in on it the creator ‘Opium’, a member of my forums, owned up to it. I talk to Opium on his inspiration to make the fake and offer you the first “screenshots” of Golden Sun 3.

More 'Screenshots' and Interview

To raise the awareness that there is a following behind the series and we want a new game.

He did a good job, but I have to say that we debunked it pretty quickly around here.

Can't fool GAF!

You can't fool the collective of GAF but it didn't stop 6 threads being posted of it, of which he apoligises for in the interview.

I enjoyed reading the forum posts and comments that followed. It was something special. I think an apology is in order to NeoGAF though, I remember seeing about six threads during E3 that all ended up locked because no one could search the forums. Sorry guys.

True. The fact that he made a ROM out of the two photoshops was an ingenious idea. The same DS photographed from different angles made it look pretty real. :)

No, it's not .TakaM. Read the interview, it says a friend of him created the one with the Japanese text and the transfer screen.

This person has the answers

Well, I admit I din't bother reading the interview, but maybe VOOK should read it himself.. he's the one who said they were done by the same guy.

VOOK said:
Yep he made that one too :lol

I know he has done two, and one is done by another, I got confused with what one you were talking about, I admit the mistake.
